In Memoriam
George Joseph Tocquigny passed away on Easter Sunday morning, a peaceful natural death.
A resident of Sherman, Texas for over 50 years, he will long be remembered as a fine
woodworking craftsman.
Born in Pittsburgh, Kansas on June 20, 1919 of Alexander and Balbina Tocquigny, they
moved to Carrizo Springs, Texas where he spent his boyhood years. Following his siblings,
George pursued his college degree at Austin College. He completed his Bachelor of Arts
in Spanish in 1940. George enlisted in the U.S. Army-Air Force and served during World
War II in France. During his military training, he met Lt. Mary Petrick, a flight nurse, at
Truax Field in Madison, Wisconsin. They would reunite after the war and eventually marry
on September 19, 1947 in Carrizo Springs.
George finished his second college degree at North Texas State University earning a
Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Arts in 1951. He applied his talents to build his home and
adjoining woodworking shop in Sherman. George began a productive 40 year career as the
Director of Maintenance for the Sherman Independent School District. During his distinctive tenure, Sherman High School and Dillingham Middle School were constructed. In 1968
George served as a U.S. government envoy to Nicaragua to improve the school facilities.
George is reunited once again with his wife Mary who passed away in 2003. He is survived
by one daughter, Suzanne Key of Arlington, Texas; three sons, George A., Dennis and
Rick, all of Denver, Colorado; seven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. He is also
survived by one sister, Rosalie Oelkers of Austin, Texas; two brothers, Robert Tocquigny
of Carrizo Springs and Joe Tocquigny of Seguin, Texas; and loving daughters-in-law and various nieces and nephews.
A celebration service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 31, 2005 in the Waldo Funeral Home Chapel. Rev. Lander Bethel of Grand Avenue Presbyterian Church will officiate followed by graveside services at Cedarlawn Memorial Park. Family
visitation will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 30.
Pallbearers are George's grandchildren and son-in-law, Otis Key. Honorary pallbearers are Al Lupercio, Henry Sory, Charles
Robinson, Arden Tocquigny, Raymond Brown, Bill Roberts, L.T. White, Etna Robinson, Paula Wendell and Al Zorilla.

SWTCA SEMI-ANNUAL BOARD
MEETING MINUTES
By Alvin Sellens
Bedford Texas
April 1, 2005
The treasurerss report and secretary’s
report were submitted by Jim Shipman
and Clint Litsey in advance of the meeting.
Meet host, Gregor Mszar, reported 35
members attended the spring 2005 meet.
The Board discussed the future meeting
schedule. The Fall, 2005 meet will be in
Albuquerque, New Mexico in a joint
meet with the Rocky Mountain Tool
Collectors Association and PAST. Tenatively, the Spring, 2006 Meet may be in
Bentonville, Arkansas at the same time as
the Gooundhog Meet. The Fall, 2006
Meet on Labor Day will be in Oklahoma
City. Craig Guy is the Host. This meet
may be a one day meet on Saturday.
There may be room trading for members
the night before. The Board discussed
waiving the registration fee, charging a fee
for tables, and making the banquet meal
optional for members. Tenatively, the
public will be invited in the late morning
or early afternoon for free appraisals and
to participate in tool trading. The auction
will be held in mid-afternoon and the
public will be invited to participate in the
auction. The public participation is to
interest new members and advertise the
club. Craig Guy will place appropriate
advertising in the Oklahoma City paper
for the appraisals and the tool show in
the estate sale section of the newspaper
and also for the auction in the auction
section of the paper. The club discussed
hiring an auctioneer for a flat fee. The
club might assist in the cashiering and the
auctioneer should provide the clerk, if
possible.
Carl Blair has volunteered to manage the
club’s website. The club approved with
the consent of the current webmaster.
This gadget was bought at a recent SWTCA meeting. It was tentatively represented as a
washer trimmer. Having never seen one before, I couldn’t resist. It has a cast aluminum
body marked Canaco Park, Calif. Perfect Products, Inc. It doesn’t appear to be very old.
After sharpening the blade and a little overall cleaning, I tried it out on a neoprene faucet
washer. It did an excellent job of trimming a shaving from the washer leaving it round and
smooth; a task that would be quite difficult to accomplish without some sort of tool. I
agree that it is indeed a good washer trimmer. It will trim any size washer, up to a .8
inches, down to .4 inches.
I can’t imagine way anyone would want such a device. It would seem much simpler to just
buy some washers the correct size. I suppose that there is a repairman out there somewhere who prefers to cut his own washers.

Wire Twister
by Jim Goodman & Carl Matthews
This "gizmo" was found abandoned on the
"whatsis" table at the Spring Meeting in
Bedford. It didn't take too much time to
decide what its function appeared to be
(and apparently we were correct). The big
debate however was how it must have
been used and more confusing, how to
Disengage this thing from use once finished.
The answer was never successfully
established so the wrench thingy was never
identified positively at the meeting. Thanks
to Carl Matthews who took the time to
look up the original patent (shown here)
and establish the fact that it was a wire
Twister indeed. ........Still doesn't explain
how it was used and then disengaged
however!

SWTCA Regional Meet in Houston
March 12 - 2005
By Jim Goodson
A gorgeous morning broke
for us here in Houston last
Saturday as we once again
gathered for our semi annual regional meeting for
the Gulf Coast Area. Thirty
one people signed up at
check in and with them
came friends and family
members. Dealers arrived
approximately 8:00 A.M.
and the members attendance peaked at around
9:30 at which time there
was quite a buzz. A glitch in
the schedule occurred
when the Restaurant manager informed us that the
water had been shut off for
the entire block for some unknown reason and the kitchen could not be "cranked up" for lunch until such
time as it came back on (code violations). Luckily it came back on eventually and lunch was available by
about 11:30 but the Restaurant employees were really moving! Lunch together with friends at the end of
the meeting is definitely one of the high points of the morning. Lots of tools were available for sale and a
great many parts as well. One individual brought a large trunk of old tools to sell and it was purchased by
one of the members on short order. Both went away happy. A wide variety of tools was on hand from
many many different professions. Many 18c. tools were available and some very special and early 17th/18thc.
tools were on display. Stanley tools and parts were plentiful and early blacksmith forged items were for sale
as well. Newly available were some stone tool artifacts brought by Charlie McAlister from Blanco
Texas who had several tables (and a deck rail) adorned with a variety of early tools and implements. Lots
of visiting and discussion prevailed over the
morning calm and another great morning
seemed to dissolve too quickly into
memory.

FROM PRESIDENT EMERY GOAD
After a couple of years of decline, tool collecting and membership in tool clubs is growing. Recently the Missouri Valley
Wrench Collectors newsletter announced their membership has increased by 53% since the year 2000. The hardware
collectors club which meets twice a year is reporting repeated years of significant growth. Auctions are bigger, better
and more members are attending. The Midwest Tool Collectors Association is recovering from a couple of years of
decrease in membership.
Help your tool club grow by getting involved today. Start, by attending the next meet in your area.
FROM THE EDITOR
Thanks to all for the submissions for this newsletter but, as usual, they are all used up. The deadline for submissions for the next newsletter is Friday, July 1, 2005. Send what you can, as soon as you can. The newsletter will be mailed shortly after the July 4th Holiday.
